After missing all of last season due to a fractured left foot, All-Star center Yao Ming will return to the Houston Rockets lineup for the 2010-2011 NBA season. But Yao's time in the lineup will be limited. According to Houston's athletic trainer Keith Jones, Yao will have a strict limitation of 24 minutes per game. The Rockets hope that their reduced-minutes plan will limit the amount of stress on Yao's surgically repaired left foot and give him a chance to play throughout the entire season. Even in limited minutes, the 7'6" Yao will impact basketball games. His size and skill-set will give the Rockets something that they lacked all of last season-a legitimate post presence. With Yao back in the lineup, Houston will have an all-star talent that they can dump the ball into on the post. Yao will be able to play aggressively on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor since he will not have to worry about foul trouble. When Yao is in the game, the Rockets will run their offense through him and he will make plays for himself and his teammates. Defensively, Houston's perimeter defenders will be able to guard their opponents more aggressively knowing that Yao will be back there to protect the paint. Since they played all of last season without him, Aaron Brooks and the rest of the Rockets will be able to easily transition into their up-tempo offense whenever Yao leaves the game. The experience Houston gained last year-along with the acquisition of veteran center Brad Miller-make the Rockets better prepared to handle any absences by Yao this season.
